Can anyone please tell me if there are any other parts apart from the plastic covers I need to remove to fit a new set of spark plugs
e.g. air mass meter, air filter box lid ?

All advice and wisdom welcome, going to start it tomorrow morning come rain or shine :D

Job done. Excellent write up was of great help (never dared before).
Took about 2 hours (although had a few tea's in between ;-) ).

For those who dare not be brave and try it. Just take your time.

Two things I would add :

Don't overtighten the spark plugs.

Use a piece of thick cotton/string to loop over the far air box clip
to help clipping it back on (still needs a push but the string helps lots).

Well happy !!! :D :D
